The "FORD" on the front is a little too small.

So it's an F150 factory desert racer? Riiiight...

Sorry if I'm a bit skeptical.

There aren't enough homo-flames for Numi to like it.

It's 4WD too.

Too rich for my blood, but it's pretty sweet.

"It's so wide, in fact, that the Raptor requires the federally mandated marker lights you usually see perched atop dually tow trucks. For the Raptor, the front lights are incorporated into the grille"

WTF do cab clearance lights have to do with the width of a vehicle anyway? I've never understood why the 1-ton trucks have those lights above the windshield.

Lets just be glad I was too poor to get the rest of the flame crap I wanted to put on my truck :doh::doh:

yeah really "clearance lights" aren't going to help you not rip a dually flare off in an alley...

also on the raptor it is a really nice truck for people who like to turn the key and drive off with a decent performing truck but it wont touch one that someone has put time and money into a long travel setup... but then again warranty is nice to have when jumping a truck every other weekend or something

Until Ford finds out you've been jumping it and then you can kiss that warranty goodbye :doh:

lol my dads one buddy bought a brand new (at the time) 85-87 ford and it had the intake hose that went down to the bottom of rad like ram air... well he went through a mud puddle about 6" deep and 20' long sucked water into pipe (he was going pretty fast so it splashed alot) blew motor up with only few hundred miles on it... ford voided warranty for excessive off road abuse or some crap :flipoff2:
